Lore inconsistencies have been in plenty of Fallout games like most series, and the ones in Fallout 4 can be chalked up the fact that no one person at Bethesda was in charge of the whole of the game (even Todd Howard admitted this, saying they all collectively knew everything). So yeah, lore inconsistencies happen, nothing wrong that can't be undone. The region mostly populated by raiders in Fallout 2 was sometimes literally empty, Fallout 3 saw some scarcity in the northeast section, and Fallout: New Vegas had a whole lot of nothing between Vegas and the solar farm. Fallout 4 isn't perfect, and there is a lot that can be done to improve it, but at worst, it's a B, at best it's an A+ game. I'm not trying to make you love it, I respect your opinion, but this bandwagon of hate for 4 is kind of sad, considering how exaggerated it is. Even Chris Avellone loved it (he gave it a B, overall, and stressed that a B is low for Bethesda).
